PART I

Item 1. Business


The Company

    The Company was  incorporated on September 28, 1987 in  Massachusetts  under
the name HPR, Inc. The Company re-incorporated in Delaware on December 20, 1991,
under the name Health  Payment  Review,  Inc. On July 24, 1995,  the name of the
Company  was  changed  to  HPR  Inc.  Unless  the  context  otherwise  requires,
references  herein to the  "Company"  and "HPR"  refer to HPR Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation,  its wholly owned  subsidiaries  and HPR, Inc.,  its  Massachusetts
predecessor.  On June 3, 1992, Concurrent Review Technology,  Inc., a California
corporation,  was merged into the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,  Concurrent
Review Technology,  Inc., a Delaware corporation. On August 16, 1995 the Company
established a wholly-owned  subsidiary,  HPR Securities  Corp., a  Massachusetts
corporation.  On April 30, 1996, the Company acquired The Integrity Group, Inc.,
an Alabama  corporation,  which  became a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of HPR. The
Company's  executive  offices  are  located  at  245  First  Street,  Cambridge,
Massachusetts 02142. Its telephone number is (617) 679-8000.

General

    HPR  develops  and  markets  software  and  proprietary   database  products
incorporating  clinical knowledge that enable payors and providers of healthcare
services to better manage the  financial  risk  associated  with the delivery of
healthcare and the quality of care.  The Company's  products are used to contain
the costs of healthcare by clinically  evaluating providers' claims for payment;
measuring  efficiency,  quality and medical  outcomes;  determining  appropriate
utilization  of  medical  services;  influencing  physician  referral  patterns;
managing physician  credentialing and recredentialing  processes;  and profiling
providers'   practice  patterns.   The  Company's  products  are  developed  and
maintained in consultation with over 200 board certified  physicians  serving on
Company-organized panels.

     The Company's  products are designed to meet the needs of parties  assuming
financial  risk for the  delivery of  healthcare.  HPR believes  that  providing
clinical  knowledge in usable form is essential  to its  customers.  The Company
believes  it can be  distinguished  from its  competitors  through the depth and
integrity of its "clinical  knowledge-bases," as further described below. HPR is
currently marketing its CodeReview(trademark, R), Patterns Review(trademark, TM)
, Episode  Profiler(trademark,  TM), Quality  Profiler(trademark,  TM), Referral
Profiler(trademark,  TM), and Credentialer(trademark,  TM) products. HPR markets
its  products  through  a  combination  of a  national  direct  sales  force and
third-party marketing agreements.

     The Company was  incorporated in 1987. In 1988, the Company  introduced its
first  product,   CodeReview.   In  1992,  the  Company  acquired  the  clinical
knowledge-base  for Patterns Review by means of a merger with Concurrent  Review
Technology,  Inc., and shortly thereafter released Patterns Review. In May 1995,
the Company  released its third  product,  Episode  Profiler and in October 1995
released its fourth  product,  Quality  Profiler.  With the  acquisition  of The
Integrity  Group,  Inc. in April 1996, the Company  acquired and began marketing
its fifth product, Credentialer. The Company's sixth product, Referral Profiler,
was released in July 1996.

Industry Background

    The United States healthcare  industry is undergoing rapid change. In recent
years, healthcare expenditures have increased at approximately twice the rate of
inflation.  In 1996,  healthcare  expenses are estimated to be  approximately $1
trillion.  The  increase  in  healthcare  expenditures  has  forced  payors  and
providers to change the way they operate. As pressure to manage healthcare costs
has increased, demand has intensified for healthcare information systems for use
by the parties assuming  financial risk.  These parties include payors,  such as
employers;  managed care  organizations,  including HMOs and preferred  provider
organizations   ("PPOs");   traditional   indemnity  insurers  and  third  party
administrators  ("TPAs");  and  increasingly,  providers,  such  as  physicians,
hospitals and integrated  healthcare  delivery  systems.  This  environment  has
caused  physicians to form groups or networks and to affiliate  with  hospitals,
and has provided an impetus for consolidation  among hospitals and the emergence
of integrated healthcare delivery systems.

    Under the traditional fee-for-service model of payment for medical services,
payors bore most of the financial  risk for  healthcare  services.  While payors
initially focused on reducing  administrative costs,  effective cost containment
also  required  them to  address  clinical  issues,  including  overutilization,
underutilization, referral patterns and clinical practice guidelines. Payors are
responding  to  escalating  costs by  gradually  shifting  some  portion  of the
financial  risk  associated  with  the  delivery  of  healthcare  to  providers,
generally  under capitated  payment  arrangements.  As a result,  providers must
learn how to manage financial risk and enhance their  understanding of treatment
costs,  variability  of costs and cost control  measures,  while  continuing  to
demonstrate quality in the services provided.

    Historically,  cost-containment  efforts  have  been  hampered  by a lack of
integrated  clinical  and  financial  information.  Payors  continue  to require
methods for cost  control to review and correct  healthcare  claims.  As managed
care  techniques are becoming more  sophisticated  and  responsibility  for cost
containment  is shared by payors and providers,  however,  these parties need to
manage risk by controlling costs,  demonstrating quality, measuring outcomes and
performance  and  influencing  utilization.  Each of these  goals  requires  the
collection,  analysis and  interpretation of clinical and financial  information
related to the delivery of  healthcare,  intensifying  the need for software and
proprietary databases incorporating clinical knowledge.

Strategy

    HPR  develops  and  markets  software  and  proprietary   database  products
incorporating  clinical  knowledge  that enable  payors and  providers to better
manage the  financial  risk in the delivery of  healthcare.  Key elements of the
Company's strategy are to:

    - Maintain  clinical  focus.  The Company has  established its reputation by
      focusing on the application of clinical  knowledge.  HPR plans to continue
      to develop and expand its clinical  knowledge-bases to deliver information
      solutions  to its  customers.  The  Company  believes  that its ability to
      incorporate clinical expertise into its products is a key strategic asset.

    - Target  parties  assuming  financial  risk.  Historically,  the  Company's
      products have been used primarily by payors who traditionally have assumed
      most of the financial risk associated with the delivery of healthcare.  In
      response to the shifting of risk from payors to providers, the Company has
      developed  products  that  specifically  address the needs of providers as
      well as payors.

    - Expand  product line. The Company plans to expand its product line through
      research  and   development   and  the   acquisitions   of  new  products,
      technologies   and   businesses.   The  Company  is  currently   marketing
      CodeReview,   Patterns  Review  ,  Episode  Profiler,   Quality  Profiler,
      Credentialer, and Referral Profiler.

    - Leverage existing customer base. Through the introduction of new products,
      the Company can leverage its existing customer base by cross-selling.  The
      modular design of the Company's  products is intended to  accommodate  new
      products as they are introduced.

    - Generate  recurring  revenue.  The Company  generates  recurring  revenues
      through a combination of multi-year  licenses and high renewal rates.  The
      Company  seeks to  maintain  and  increase  recurring  revenues  through a
      combination of regular product updates and comprehensive customer service.





Clinical Knowledge-Bases

    HPR believes that providing  clinical  knowledge in usable form is essential
to  meeting  the  needs  of  its  customers.  The  Company  believes  it  can be
distinguished  from its  competitors  through  the  depth and  integrity  of its
"clinical  knowledge-bases." Clinical knowledge-bases represent the codification
of specific medical  treatments,  protocols and "best treatment  practices" from
within the medical  community.  These  practices are  represented as a series of
software   algorithms   or  rules.   The  rules   contained   in  the   clinical
knowledge-bases  form  the  foundation  for  the  application  software  in  the
Company's  products.  The clinical  knowledge-bases  are updated continually and
refined through the combined efforts of the Company's  in-house clinical affairs
staff of ten physicians and nurses and of the board-certified physicians serving
on Company-organized  panels, many of whom have been associated with the Company
since its inception.

    The Company's  application software and databases  incorporate diagnoses and
clinical procedures represented by numeric codes selected from industry-standard
coding  systems.   These   classification   systems  include  the  World  Health
Organization's  International  Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition ("ICD-9")
(diagnostic  codes);  the  American  Medical  Association's  Current  Procedural
Terminology, 4th Edition ("CPT-4") (medical procedure codes) and U.S. Healthcare
Financing  Administration  ("HCFA")  Level I, II, and III HCFA Common  Procedure
Coding  System  ("HCPCS")  (codes  for  procedures  or  services  which  are not
incorporated  into  CPT-4).  These  coding  systems are updated each year by the
World  Health   Organization,   the  American  Medical   Association  and  HCFA,
respectively.

    The Company develops clinical knowledge-bases for new products and regularly
updates the  clinical  knowledge-bases  for  existing  products.  In addition to
annual updates that incorporate the annual  revisions to ICD-9,  HCPCS and CPT-4
codes, the Company reviews its clinical knowledge-bases approximately once every
two years to reflect  changes  in  medical  practice.  Focusing  on one  medical
specialty at a time, the clinical staff revises the rules  incorporated into the
clinical knowledge-bases on the basis of clinical experience, changes in medical
practice and reviews of current medical literature.

    Revisions  are  subjected  to  multiple  levels of review by the  physicians
serving on Company-organized panels. Participation on these panels is based upon
experience  with   utilization   review,   geography,   academic  and  practical
experience,  and  medical  specialty.  As a result  of the  level  of  physician
involvement  in the  development of its clinical  knowledge-bases,  HPR believes
that  its  products  have  credibility  among  physicians  who  are  subject  to
reimbursement and payment constraints imposed by cost containment efforts.  This
"clinical  credibility"  allows  customers  using the  Company's  products to be
better able to influence physician practice patterns.

    - Consensus Panels.  The Company has organized sixteen "consensus panels" of
      between  eight and  fifteen  physicians.  The  consensus  panels  identify
      changes in  medical  practice  relevant  to  revising  and  enhancing  the
      Company's  clinical  knowledge-bases.   Panelists  are  chosen  for  their
      clinical  knowledge and practical  experience within a medical  specialty.
      There are over 200  board-certified  physicians  who are  available to the
      Company for  service on a consensus  panel.  Panel  membership  is rotated
      regularly to maintain  balanced and diverse  clinical  perspectives.  Each
      panelist   is   financially   compensated.    Consensus   panels   convene
      approximately eight to ten times per year.

    - Senior  Advisory  Panel.  The  "senior  advisory  panel" is  comprised  of
      approximately  ten  physicians  who  each  have  at  least  ten  years  of
      experience in utilization management or managed care and have participated
      in a  consensus  panel.  The senior  advisory  panel  reviews  the work of
      consensus  panels and the  clinical  knowledge-base  updates  that reflect
      annual revisions to diagnostic and procedural codes. Members of the senior
      advisory  panel are  financially  compensated.  The senior  advisory panel
      meets once or twice per year.

    - Specialty  Consultants.  Currently  more than 30 physicians  with clinical
      expertise  and  utilization  management  experience  serve  as  "specialty
      consultants."  The specialty  consultants  are retained by the Company for
      advice on specific clinical issues on an as-needed basis.

Software Development

    In addition to the clinical  knowledge-bases  which form the foundations for
its products,  HPR has developed  application software that enables customers to
access the clinical  knowledge-bases.  HPR's  clinical and software  development
staff  collaborate  to develop  products  designed to be  responsive to customer
needs.  In  particular,  the products  generally  are  portable,  scaleable  and
customizable,  and support an open architecture. The Company's software has been
developed using commercially available technology.

Products

     HPR   is   currently   marketing    CodeReview(trademark,    R),   Patterns
Review(trademark,    TM)   ,   Episode    Profiler(trademark,    TM),    Quality
Profiler(trademark,     TM),    Referral     Profiler(trademark,     TM),    and
Credentialer(trademark,  TM).  Each of these  products  is  designed  to be used
individually or as part of an integrated system.
Current Products

    Clinical Payment Management System ("CPMS", trademark, TM)

    CPMS  includes  clinically  sophisticated  software  products  that  can  be
    integrated  into  user's  claims  processing  system to detect  and  correct
    billing errors as well as identify potentially  inappropriate or unnecessary
    care before the  customers  pay for it. HPR's CPMS products are available on
    many  industry  standard  hardware  and  operating  systems.  The  following
    products make up the Clinical Payment Management System.

    - CodeReview(trademark, R)

        CodeReview reduces healthcare claims costs by detecting,  correcting and
    documenting improper or erroneous numerical coding of physician claims under
    both the CPT-4 and HCPCS coding systems.  CodeReview makes no judgment about
    the necessity,  clinical  appropriateness or price of services rendered, but
    instead  reviews   medical   treatment  and  procedure  codes  submitted  by
    physicians  for  clinical  inconsistencies  and logical  errors.  CodeReview
    allows  payors to subject  physician  claims to a consistent  and  objective
    claims review prior to making payment. CodeReview is also used by payors and
    providers to standardize billing data to permit fair comparisons of practice
    patterns.

        Generally,  physicians  are  paid  by  payors  for  healthcare  services
    performed  according  to a fee  schedule  associated  with  CPT-4  or  HCPCS
    treatment  codes.  The coding systems used by physicians may allow a medical
    claim to be billed in various  ways  through  the  submission  of  different
    combinations of treatment codes. This may result in significantly  different
    reimbursement  for the claim.  For example,  the surgical  removal of a gall
    bladder  typically  involves a series of distinct  procedures to prepare the
    patient, remove the gall bladder, complete the surgery and monitor recovery.
    The  surgery  may  also  include  exploration  of the  abdomen  and  imaging
    services.  However,  while  exploration  of the abdomen and the provision of
    imaging services each has a unique  treatment code,  proper billing practice
    requires  coding the entire series as one procedure -- the removal of a gall
    bladder -- which generally reduces the payment due for the procedure.

        CodeReview screens each claim against its clinical knowledge-base, which
    incorporates all of the  approximately  7,500 CPT-4 and 2,800 HCPCS Level II
    codes,  and applies  over 80,000  logical  rules for  detecting  improper or
    erroneous  coding to the claims submitted by providers.  If, for example,  a
    physicians  files a claim with codes for both the removal of a gall  bladder
    and the  exploration  of the  abdomen,  CodeReview  "re-bundles"  the claim,
    recoding  it to include  only  removal of a gall  bladder.  CodeReview  also
    detects  other  coding  errors,  such as  "upcoding,"  or billing for a more
    extensive procedure than actually was performed.

        CodeReview  can be customized to include  procedures  for which selected
    coverage policies may vary, or to account for regional variations in payment
    practices.  CodeReview  was  introduced in 1988 and developed  pursuant to a
    product  development  agreement with  Caterpillar,  Inc. There currently are
    more than 195  licensees  of  CodeReview,  each of which has entered  into a
    written  noncancellable  license  agreement  for a term of  years  with  the
    Company  pursuant to which the  licensee  generally  agrees to pay an annual
    license fee for use of the product,  maintain the product's  confidentiality
    and use the product only for certain purposes.


    - Patterns Review(trademark, TM)

        Patterns Review evaluates physician practice patterns for both inpatient
    and outpatient services by comparing those patterns (determined on the basis
    of  codes  filed by the  physician)  with  accepted  medical  standards  for
    appropriateness,  frequency  and  intensity.  A  "pattern"  is  a  group  of
    diagnoses for which similar clinical management is appropriate. For example,
    there are separate  diagnostic codes for a wrist sprain and an ankle sprain,
    but the  appropriate  course  of  treatment  for  each is  similar,  so both
    diagnoses fall within the same pattern.

        The  clinical  knowledge-base  for Patterns  Review  assigns each of the
    approximately  15,000 ICD-9  diagnostic  codes to one of  approximately  340
    treatment patterns. The clinical knowledge-base for Patterns Review includes
    guidelines  for clinical  appropriateness,  frequency and intensity for each
    pattern.  Patterns  Review  matches  the  diagnostic  code of a claim to the
    appropriate  treatment  pattern and then  compares the pattern to the actual
    treatment rendered.

        Patterns  Review can be used by customers  both as a tool for consistent
    and objective  claims review prior to making  payment under a claim and as a
    management tool for post-payment  utilization  analysis.  When used prior to
    making payment, Patterns Review provides the clinical rationale for reducing
    payment. When used as a post-payment  utilization  management tool, Patterns
    Review  profiles  physician  practice  patterns  by  comparing  them  to the
    clinical  guidelines  incorporated  in  the  clinical  knowledge-base.  This
    enables customers to identify inefficient or inappropriate practice patterns
    by specific provider.

        There currently are more than 95 licensees of Patterns  Review,  each of
    which has entered into a written noncancellable license agreement for a term
    of years with the Company pursuant to which the licensee generally agrees to
    pay an annual  license fee for use of the product,  maintain  the  product's
    confidentiality and use the product only for certain purposes.  In 1992, the
    Company merged with  Concurrent  Review  Technology,  Inc.  whose  principal
    product,  Patterns of Treatment, was a collection of clinical protocols. HPR
    incorporated  those  protocols  into the  application  software and clinical
    knowledge-base for Patterns Review.

        CodeReview  and Patterns  Review are designed to function in conjunction
    with a customer's  claims  processing  system to evaluate claims each time a
    claim is  processed.  The  Company  has  developed  interfaces  that  enable
    CodeReview and Patterns Review to function with most commercially  available
    healthcare claims processing systems.

    Clinical Resource Management System ("CRMS", trademarkTM)

         CRMS  includes a fully  integrated  product  line of clinical  analysis
    products,  each  supported  by  a  common  data  warehouse  and  a  flexible
    Windows-based  analytic workstation.  CRMS products enable users to assemble
    information, access it quickly and easily, analyze it, and apply the results
    to provide  users with the clinical  knowledge  to manage cost,  quality and
    outcomes of patient care.  Each CRMS product  incorporates a common look and
    feel, minimizing the user learning curve and making it easy to move from one
    application  to  another.  Information  is  presented  in both a numeric and
    graphic format for easy interpretation.

        The  following  is a  description  of the  products  which  make  up the
Clinical Resource Management System.

    - Episode Profiler(trademark, TM)

        Episode  Profiler  provides   comprehensive  clinical  and  provider
    profiling  using  "episode of care"  analysis.  An  "episode"  includes  all
    aspects of treatment,  starting with an initial  diagnosis and  incorporates
    inpatient,   outpatient,  hospital  and  physician  services.  The  clinical
    knowledge-base for Episode Profiler assigns each of the approximately 15,000
    ICD-9 diagnostic codes to one of approximately  560 episode treatment groups
    ("ETGs").  Each ETG describes an appropriate episode of care for the natural
    progression and treatment of a specific medical condition.

        Episode  Profiler can compare a provider's  costs on a per episode basis
    with  those of a  specified  comparison  group.  Customers  can use  Episode
    Profiler to create  profiles for an entire health plan, a specific  group of
    providers  or  an  individual  provider,   adjusting  a  provider's  patient
    population for illness severity and accounting for  complications  and other
    medical conditions.

        The Company introduced Episode Profiler in May 1995. There currently are
    more than 35 licensees of Episode Profiler, each of which has entered into a
    written  noncancellable  license  agreement  for a term of  years  with  the
    Company  pursuant to which the  licensee  generally  agrees to pay an annual
    license fee for use of the product,  maintain the product's  confidentiality
    and use the product only for certain purposes.  The software for the ETGs is
    licensed by the Company from Symmetry Health Data Systems, Inc.


- - Quality Profiler(trademark, TM)

        Quality  Profiler  evaluates  the quality of  healthcare  delivered  and
    identifies instances of healthcare providers delivering inadequate levels of
    medical care.  Quality Profiler is designed to screen for failure to provide
    preventive-care  services and minimum  levels of care for specific acute and
    chronic  illnesses  as  well  as  to  identify  complications  that  may  be
    indicative of poor patient outcome.

        In  screening  for  failures to provide  preventive-care  services,  the
    clinical  knowledge-base  for Quality  Profiler  incorporates  the  clinical
    components  of the U.S.  Preventive  Task  Force  Guidelines  and the Health
    Employer  Data  Information  Set  ("HEDIS")  guidelines  established  by the
    National  Committee for Quality  Assurance.  Quality Profiler is designed to
    compare  patient  data (such as age and sex) to claims filed for the patient
    over a specific period of time to look for the absence of appropriate  codes
    for  preventive  treatments  that  should  have  been  performed  under  the
    guidelines.  For example,  for a fifty-five year old woman, Quality Profiler
    is  designed  to search  over the prior  twelve  months  for the CPT-4  code
    indicating the performance of a mammogram.

        Quality Profiler's clinical  knowledge-base also incorporates  protocols
    for medical services associated with favorable outcomes for certain specific
    acute and chronic  illnesses as  identified  by members of the consensus and
    senior advisory  panels.  Quality Profiler is designed to compare the claims
    filed for a patient  diagnosed with one of these  illnesses to the protocols
    developed by HPR's  physician  consulting  network to identify  instances of
    underutilization.  Quality Profiler tracks  complications that indicate poor
    outcomes for specified  illnesses.  Quality Profiler is designed to generate
    both provider-specific and member-specific information.

        The Company  introduced  Quality  Profiler in October 1995 and there are
    currently  more than 15 licensees,  each of which has entered into a written
    noncancellable  license  agreement  with the  Company  pursuant to which the
    licensee  generally  agrees  to pay an  annual  license  fee  for use of the
    product, maintain the product's confidentiality and use the product only for
    certain   purposes.   The  product  was  developed  with   assistance   from
    Healthsource, Inc., which has received a license to use the product.

- - Referral Profiler(trademark, TM)

        Referral  Profiler is expert  software  designed to analyze primary care
    work-ups  and  referral  patterns  to  specialists  in  relation to clinical
    guidelines.  Referral  Profiler  enables  users to manage  medical care more
    cost-effectively  by  identifying   redundant  testing  and  unnecessary  or
    inappropriate  services  associated  with the referral  management  process.
    Referral  Profiler  guidelines  specify  when  certain  tests and  specialty
    consultations are most effective in the diagnostic  workup.  Users can share
    the diagnosis-specific guideline and cost information with providers as part
    of ongoing educational or payment-related  programs to improve  performance,
    or use the  guidelines  as a reference  tool to provide  information  at the
    point of care for improved medical management.  With Referral Profiler,  end
    users generate clinically-detailed reports on the utilization of specialists
    for use in network management, quality and outcomes management,  utilization
    control, and physician selection.

        The  product  was  developed  with  assistance  from  United  Healthcare
    Corporation,  which has  received  a license  to use the  product.  Referral
    Profiler was released in July 1996 and currently has 5 licensees.

    network  management and provider  profiling.  Patterns Profiler will provide
    peer  comparisons  of  provider  performance  by  specialty,  plan type,  or

Product and Customer Support

    The  Company's  products  are  valuable to  customers  only if the  clinical
knowledge-bases  embodied  therein are current and each customer can effectively
apply  the  clinical  knowledge-bases  to its own  analytical  requirements.  In
addition to updates to incorporate  annual  revisions to ICD-9,  HCPCS and CPT-4
codes, the Company updates its clinical knowledge-bases approximately once every
two years on the basis of clinical  experience,  changes in medical practice and
review of current medical literature.

    The Company  provides all its  customers  with toll free  telephone  hotline
support,  available  weekdays during business hours, to supply both clinical and
technical  assistance.  The Company  also works with  customers  on a consulting
basis to facilitate product installation.

    HPR invites client  medical  directors and users to participate in an annual
conference.  The  users'  conference  is a source of ideas and  suggestions  for
current and future  products,  as well as a forum on market and industry issues.
This  conference  lasts three to four days and up to 200 people  participate  in
sessions  for  operational,   technical  and  clinical  personnel.   The  users'
conference  is a valuable  resource  for the  Company as well as its  customers,
providing  feedback on products and marketing  opportunities to provide training
and new product demonstrations.

    In addition to the annual users' conference,  for the past several years the
Company has  convened a "medical  directors'  forum."  This group  includes  the
medical directors from a number of HPR's clients,  and provides valuable insight
for the Company into its customers' ongoing and future product needs, from which
the Company can make plans for enhancement of existing  products and development
of new products.

Medical Advisory Board

     The Company's Medical Advisory Board, chaired by Dr. Richard H. Egdahl, was
formally  established  in  1995 to  serve  as an  important  resource  to  HPR's
management.  The Medical Advisory Board is composed of prominent  physicians who
first met in December 1995. The Medical  Advisory Board will meet  approximately
twice  annually  and will  otherwise  be  available  to  provide  advice  at the
Company's request on clinical issues and matters of overall policy and direction
of the Company.  Members of the Medical Advisory Board receive an honorarium for
each meeting attended.

Customers

    The Company has approximately 300 customers. Based upon discussions with its
customers,  the Company  believes  that, in the aggregate,  its customers  cover
approximately 60 million lives. Approximately 55% are managed care organizations
such as HMOs and PPOs, 22% are indemnity plans, 10% are TPAs and employers,  and
13% are providers.

    The  Company  estimates  based on  industry  data and  surveys  by  industry
analysts that in the United States there are currently approximately 900 payors,
180 groups of greater than 50 physicians  and 6,000  hospitals with greater than
50 beds, which are either customers or potential customers. The Company believes
these provider groups represent a relatively new and unpenetrated market for its
products.  Additionally, the emergence of integrated healthcare delivery systems
may represent a significant  potential market  opportunity.  The Company expects
the mix of its  customers to shift toward  providers who will assume more of the
financial risk in the delivery of healthcare.

    Currently, 35% of the Company's customers use more than one of the Company's
products. The Company's customers include:


                  Managed Care                        Indemnity
          Foundation Health            Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Arkansas, Inc.
          Corporation
          Healthsource, Inc.           Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Jersey,Inc.
          Kaiser
          Oxford Health Plans, Inc.    Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee,Inc.
          Fortis Benefits Insurance

          Monarch Health Systems       ACMG, Inc.
                                       First Health Services Corporation
                                       Holy Cross Shared Services


Sales and Marketing

    HPR markets its products  through a combination  of a national  direct sales
force and third-party marketing agreements. Currently, the Company's sales force
consists  of  approximately  25 people,  operating  out of four  sales  offices.
Because the  Company's  products  represent a large capital  investment  for its
customers,  and due to the  length of the sales  cycle,  senior  management  and
clinical support staff take an active role in marketing and sales activities.

    Corporate  marketing  activities  conducted by the Company's marketing staff
include press  releases,  customer  testimonials,  the  development of corporate
product  literature,  presentations  at  industry  events  and  trade  shows and
advertising,  as  well as  communications  with  targeted  decision  makers  and
consultants in the healthcare community.

Research and Development

    Nearly  half  of  the   Company's   employees   are  involved  with  product
development.   In  addition,  the  Company's  over  200  physician  consultants,
organized into panels, contribute to product development.

    The  Company's  research  and  development  activities  include  new product
development,  product updates and enhancement of existing products.  Some of the
Company's  product  development  has been  accomplished  with support from third
party users of the products,  allowing the Company more  efficiently  to develop
products which are responsive to customer  needs. A substantial  majority of the
Company's research and development  expenses are incurred in connection with new
product development.

    The Company's  research and  development  expenses for fiscal 1994, 1995 and
1996 were $1,499,000, $3,257,000, and $3,891,000 respectively.

Competition

    The Company's potential competitors include healthcare information companies
and large data processing and information  companies.  Many of these competitors
have  substantial  installed  customer bases in the healthcare  industry and the
ability to fund significant  product  development and acquisition  efforts.  The
Company  believes  that the  principal  competitive  factors  in its  market are
clinical credibility and integrity and product innovation. These factors address
both customer needs for cost containment tools and increasing  industry concerns
about quality  control.  Other  important  competitive  factors  include product
reputation and  reliability,  system  features,  client service,  price, and the
effectiveness  of marketing and sales efforts.  The Company believes it competes
favorably with respect to each of these factors.

Governmental Regulations and Healthcare Reform

    The  healthcare  industry is subject to  changing  political,  economic  and
regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operation of
healthcare organizations. The Company's products are designed to function within
the structure of the healthcare  financing and  reimbursement  system  currently
being used in the United States.  During the past several years,  the healthcare
industry has been subject to an increase in  governmental  regulation  of, among
other  things,  reimbursement  rates.  Certain  proposals  to  reform  the  U.S.
healthcare  system are currently  under  consideration  by the  Congress.  These
programs  may  contain  proposals  to  increase   governmental   involvement  in
healthcare  and  otherwise  change the operating  environment  for the Company's
customers.  Healthcare  organizations  may  react  to  these  proposals  and the
uncertainty  surrounding such proposals by curtailing or deferring  investments,
including those for the Company's  products.  On the other hand,  changes in the
regulatory  environment have increased and may continue to increase the needs of
healthcare  organizations for cost-effective  information management and thereby
enhance the  marketability of the Company's  products and services.  The Company
cannot  predict  with any  certainty  what  impact,  if any,  such  proposals or
healthcare reforms might have on the Company's results of operations,  financial
condition and business.

Intellectual Property

    HPR considers its methodologies, computer software and knowledge-bases to be
proprietary.  The Company seeks to protect its proprietary  information  through
nondisclosure  agreements  with its employees.  The Company's  policy is to have
employees enter into nondisclosure  agreements containing provisions prohibiting
the  disclosure  of  confidential  information  to anyone  outside the  Company,
requiring disclosure to the Company of any new ideas, developments,  discoveries
or inventions  conceived  during  employment,  and  requiring  assignment to the
Company of proprietary  rights to such matters that are related to the Company's
business.

    The Company also relies on a  combination  of trade  secrets,  copyright and
trademark  laws,  contractual  provisions and technical  measures to protect its
rights in various  methodologies,  systems  and  products  and  knowledge-bases.
Except as described below, the Company has not filed any patent  applications or
copyrights   covering   its   software    technology.    Any   infringement   or
misappropriation   of  the   Company's   proprietary   software   and   clinical
knowledge-bases  would  disadvantage  the  Company in its  efforts to retain and
attract new customers in a highly competitive market and could cause the Company
to lose revenues or incur substantial litigation expense.

    HPR was awarded a U.S. patent (No. 5,253,164) in October 1993 for the system
and methodology embodied in CodeReview(R).  On January 23, 1995, the Company and
GMIS,  Inc.  ("GMIS")  entered into an  agreement  settling  certain  litigation
initiated by GMIS to declare the  Company's  patent  invalid and responded to by
the Company with a countersuit  for patent  infringement.  Under the  settlement
agreement,  the Company granted GMIS a  non-exclusive  license under the patent,
and GMIS  acknowledged the validity of the patent and made a one-time payment of
$7,200,000 to the Company.

    Due to the nature of its  application  software,  the Company  believes that
patent,  trade secret and copyright  protection  are less  significant  than the
Company's ability to further develop, enhance and modify its current products.

    Although  the Company  believes  that its  products  do not  infringe on the
intellectual  property  rights of others,  there can be no assurance that such a
claim will not be asserted against the Company in the future.




Employees

    As of June 30,  1996,  the Company  employed  145  individuals.  None of the
Company's  employees are represented by a union or other  collective  bargaining
group.  The  Company  believes  its  relationship   with  its  employees  to  be
satisfactory.

<FN>

(1) During  fiscal  1992,  the Company made a lump sum  prepayment  under a loan
    agreement  with a  related  party  resulting  in a  $309,000  loss on  early
    retirement.


(2)  In January  1995,  GMIS,  Inc.  made a one-time  payment to the  Company in
     settlement of certain litigation, which payment was recorded as a gain, net
     of certain legal and other costs.


(3)  In April 1996, the Company incurred costs related to the acquisition of
     The Integrity Group, Inc. which resulted in an expense
     of $336,000.


(4)  Reflects the fiscal 1995 net income on a pro forma basis by  excluding  the
     gain on  settlement  of  litigation  and its related  tax  effect.  Gain on
     settlement  of  litigation,  net  of  expenses,  was  $5,800,000,  less  an
     effective  tax rate of 40.4%  ($2,341,000),  which  results in an after tax
     gain of $3,459,000 on settlement of litigation.  Accordingly, net income of
     $6,067,000  less the  $3,459,000  after tax gain  results  in pro forma net
     income of $2,608,000.


(5)  Reflects the fiscal 1996 net income on a pro forma basis by  excluding  the
     costs  related to the  acquisition  of The  Integrity  Group,  Inc. and the
     related  tax  effect.  Costs  of the  acquisition  were  $336,000,  less an
     effective tax rate of 41.2%  ($138,000),  resulting in an after tax loss of
     $198,000 due to acquisition  costs.  Accordingly,  net income of $4,521,000
     plus the $198,000 after tax expenditures results in pro forma net income of
     $4,719,000.


(6)  All share and earnings per share  amounts have been restated to reflect the
     impact  of a stock  split  effected  in the form of a 100%  stock  dividend
     granted on May 6, 1996 to all shareholders of record on April 26, 1996.


(7)  The  acquisition  of The Integrity  Group was accounted for as a pooling of
     interests,  however,  due to the relative  immateriality of TIG's financial
     position with respect to HPR as of the date of  combination,  the merger of
     the equity  interests  was given  retroactive  effect to the  beginning  of
     fiscal 1996.  Accordingly,  TIG's assets,  liabilities,  and  shareholder's
     equity  were  brought  onto  the  Company's  consolidated  books  as of the
     beginning of the period as an adjustment to beginning equity.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

Overview

    The  Company  licenses  its  products   primarily   pursuant  to  multi-year
non-cancellable agreements that, in general, provide for payment of equal annual
license fees over their  terms.  This type of  arrangement  provides the Company
with a significant  recurring component to its revenues each year. Revenues from
software  license  agreements  are  recognized  upon execution of a contract and
shipment of the software provided that no significant  vendor obligations remain
outstanding  and  collection  of the related  receivable  is deemed  probable by
management.  For annual recurring  license fees,  revenues are recognized on the
contract   anniversary  date.  The  Company  accrues  incidental  support  costs
associated  with these  licenses  when  revenues are  recognized.  Revenues from
services  are  recognized  when the  services  are  delivered.  There  can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to enter into new license  agreements at
the current rate or to maintain the current pricing for its products.

    Prior to fiscal  1993,  the  Company's  revenues  were derived from a single
product,  CodeReview,  and  between  July 1993 and May 1995  from two  products,
CodeReview and Patterns  Review . In May 1995, the Company  introduced its third
product,  Episode  Profiler,  and in October 1995 introduced its fourth product,
Quality  Profiler.  The acquisition of The Integrity  Group,  Inc. in April 1996
provided the Company with its fifth product,  Credentialer. The Company released
its sixth product, Referral Profiler, in July 1996. The Company believes that as
the markets for CodeReview and Patterns Review mature,  the continued  growth of
the Company will require the successful introduction of new products and further
enhancements to its existing products.

    The Company has  experienced a seasonal  pattern in its  operating  results,
with the fourth and second fiscal quarters typically having the highest revenues
and net income and the first and third fiscal  quarters  typically  having lower
revenues  and net income.  The timing of revenues is  influenced  by a number of
factors,  including  the timing of  individual  orders and  shipments,  seasonal
customer  buying  patterns  and  changes  in product  development  and sales and
marketing expenditures. The Company believes the seasonality of its revenues and
net income for the fourth  fiscal  quarter  can be  attributed  to due dates for
payment  obligations under multi-year license  agreements,  renewals of existing
agreements  and  the  Company's  sales  compensation  program,  which  is  based
significantly on fiscal year sales levels.  Furthermore,  the Company  typically
experiences  long sales cycles for new customers,  which may extend over several
quarters before a sale is consummated.  As a result,  the Company  believes that
quarterly  results of  operations  will  continue  to be subject to  significant
fluctuations  and that its results of operations for any  particular  quarter or
fiscal year may not be indicative of results of operations for future periods.

    The Company  believes that continued  investment in research and development
and  expansion of its  national  direct sales force are critical to its success.
The Company  believes  that the  aggregate  amount of research  and  development
expense will continue to increase,  if revenues increase as expected,  while the
level of research  and  development  expense as a  percentage  of revenues  will
remain relatively constant.

    The Company  expanded its sales force during fiscal 1995 in  anticipation of
the release of Episode  Profiler and the  introduction  of Quality  Profiler and
again in fiscal 1996 following the acquisition of The Integrity Group,  Inc. and
the  anticipated  release of Referral  Profiler.  The Company  believes that its
national  sales force will be well  positioned to address the shift of financial
risk  associated  with the delivery of  healthcare  from payors to providers and
consequently, will be prepared to sell into this new market for the Company.

    The Company capitalizes  software costs for internally developed software in
accordance with FASB 86,  "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer  Software to be
Sold,  Leased or  Otherwise  Marketed."  These  costs  relate  primarily  to the
development  of new products and the extension of existing  applications  to new
markets or platforms using existing  technologies and programming  methods.  The
capitalized  costs are  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over the  estimated
useful life of the product (typically three years), commencing when each product
is available to the market.

    To date,  inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's financial
results.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that inflation may not adversely
affect the Company's financial results in the future.

Results of Operations

    The following table sets forth,  for the fiscal periods  indicated,  certain
items from the statement of operations expressed as a percentage of revenues:

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996

    Revenues.  Revenues increased 30% from $14,065,000 in 1994 to $18,264,000 in
1995 and 55% to  $28,310,000 in 1996.  CodeReview has shown  continued year over
year growth since its initial  release in 1988 through new licenses and renewals
of existing licenses.  Patterns Review is based on a product initially developed
by Concurrent Review  Technology,  Inc. ("CRT") which HPR acquired in June 1992.
Patterns  Review has also shown  growth  through new  licenses  and  renewals of
existing licenses.

    Fiscal year 1996  revenues  reflect  revenues  from the  acquisition  of The
Integrity  Group,  Inc.  ("TIG") in April  1996,  which was  accounted  for as a
pooling of interests  incorporating  TIG's results of operations  for the entire
fiscal  year.  In  addition,  the  fiscal  1996  results  reflect a full year of
revenues related to the Company's Episode Profiler product,  initially  released
in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1995,  as well as revenues  from the release of
Quality Profiler in October 1995.

    Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues increased 23% from $3,452,000 in 1994 to
$4,234,000  in 1995 and 74% to  $7,348,000 in 1996. As a percentage of revenues,
the cost of revenues  decreased from 25% in 1994 to 23% in 1995 and increased to
26% in 1996.  The increases were  primarily due to certain  royalty  payments to
third  parties for software  licensed by the Company and  incorporated  into the
Company's  products and by increased  investment  in the  technical and clinical
customer  support  functions.  The  Company  expects  cost of revenues to remain
relatively constant as a percentage of revenues.

    Marketing and Sales.  Marketing and sales  increased 16% from  $4,016,000 in
1994 to  $4,664,000  in 1995 and 36% to  $6,328,000  in 1996. As a percentage of
revenues,  marketing and sales decreased from 29% in 1994 to 26% in 1995 and 22%
in 1996. The Company invests in certain promotional  activities each fiscal year
which include trade shows and seminars as well as the  development of collateral
materials  designed to increase  awareness of the Company and its products.  The
Company  expanded  its sales force  during  fiscal 1995 in  anticipation  of the
release of Episode Profiler and the future introduction of Quality Profiler, and
again in fiscal 1996 following the acquisition of The Integrity Group,  Inc. and
the anticipated  release of Referral Profiler.  This investment in marketing and
sales  contributed  to higher  revenues in fiscal 1995 and 1996 which has caused
sales and  marketing  expense to decrease as a percentage  of revenues over that
same  period.  The Company  expects  sales and  marketing  to remain  relatively
constant as a percentage of revenues.

    Research and  Development.  Research and development  efforts by the Company
are focused on developing new products and enhancing existing products. Research
and  development  increased  117% from  $1,499,000 in 1994 to $3,257,000 in 1995
primarily as a result of the expenses associated with Episode Profiler, and to a
lesser extent, Referral Profiler and Quality Profiler.  Research and development
increased  19% from  $3,257,000  in 1995 to  $3,892,000  in 1996 as a result  of
continued  research  efforts on Quality  Profiler and Referral  Profiler and new
efforts focused on the Company's next product line currently under  development.
As a percentage of revenues, research and development increased from 11% in 1994
to 18% in 1995 and decreased to 14% in 1996. The decrease in 1996 is a result of
two factors:  the significant  increase in revenue dollars in 1996 over 1995 and
the release of Episode  Profiler  in late 1995 and  Quality  Profiler in October
1996, both of which were in development during fiscal 1995. With the increase in
development  activities on the Company's new product lines,  management  expects
that   research  and   development   expenditures   will   increase  but  remain
substantially the same as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future.

    General and  Administrative.  General and administrative  expenses decreased
12%  from  $2,323,000  in  1994  to  $2,037,000  in 1995  and  increased  76% to
$3,594,000  in 1996.  As a percentage  of revenues,  general and  administrative
expenses decreased from 16% in 1994 to 11% in 1995 and increased to 13% in 1996.
During 1994,  certain  severance  costs were  incurred that were not incurred in
1995 and are the primary  reason for the decrease in  expenditures  from 1994 to
1995.  The  increased  expenditures  from  1995 to 1996  are  due  primarily  to
increased  expenses related to being a  publicly-traded  company,  certain costs
incurred in moving the Company's headquarters in August 1995, and an increase in
the  provision  for bad debt expenses in proportion to the increase in revenues.
The Company  believes  that if  revenues  increase,  general and  administrative
expenses will decrease as a percentage of revenues in the future.

     Costs of  Acquisition.  In April 1996,  the Company  acquired The Integrity
Group, Inc. ("TIG"), an Alabama corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  The Company  incurred costs related to the acquisition of
$336,000 primarily related to legal, accounting, and finders fees.

    Interest  Income  (Expense),  Net. The Company  realized  interest income of
$17,000  in 1994,  $302,000  in 1995,  and  $877,000  in 1996.  Interest  income
represents  interest  earned on the Company's  excess cash  balances,  which are
generally  placed in short term  investments,  money market funds and government
securities.  The increase is due to the interest  earned on cash balances of the
Company  generated from  operations and the proceeds from the Company's  initial
public  offering  of its  common  stock  completed  in August  1995 and from the
follow-on offering completed in February 1996.

    Gain on Settlement of Litigation.  In January 1995, the Company  settled all
of the  outstanding  claims  between the Company and GMIS,  Inc.  related to the
Company's  patent for CodeReview.  Under the settlement  agreement,  the Company
granted GMIS a nonexclusive  license under the patent, and GMIS acknowledged the
validity  of the patent and made a one-time  payment,  net of legal and  certain
other costs, of $5,800,000 to the Company.

    Income Taxes.  The  Company's  effective tax rate was 41.6% in 1994 compared
with 40.4% in 1995 and 41.2% in 1996. The Integrity Group, Inc. was a Subchapter
S Corporation until its acquisition on April 30, 1996. As a result, the partners
of TIG are  responsible  for all taxes on profits made  through  that date.  The
Company has  recorded  taxes for the final two months of the fiscal year related
to TIG's activity. The Company has no federal income tax loss carry forwards.




Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the period from  inception  through June 30, 1996, the Company raised
approximately  $15.5  million,  net of expenses,  through the issuance of equity
securities,  of which amount  approximately $7.2 million was raised in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 in the Company's initial public offering and $4.2 million
was raised in the third  quarter of fiscal 1996 in the  Company's  second public
offering.  The Company  generated cash of $3.4 million from operations in fiscal
1994,  approximately  $5.3 million in fiscal 1995 and approximately $4.5 million
during fiscal 1996. At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents
of $8.5 million.  The Company regularly invests excess funds in short-term money
market funds, government securities and commercial paper.

    On January 18, 1996, the Company  received an extension and  modification of
its  revolving  bank credit  facility  from  $2,000,000  to  $5,000,000  with an
expiration date of December 31, 1996. No borrowings have been made to date under
the facility.

    The Company believes that available funds and cash generated from operations
will be  sufficient to meet the Company's  operating  requirements,  assuming no
change in the operations of the Company's business,  for the foreseeable future,
but at least for the next twelve months. While the Company continually evaluates
potential  acquisitions,  the Company has no present  agreements or  commitments
with respect to any acquisition,  nor are negotiations regarding any acquisition
currently ongoing.

    To date inflation has not had a material  impact on the Company's  financial
results.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that inflation may not adversely
affect the Company's financial results in the future.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

    Statements  in this  report  concerning  the future  results of  operations,
financial condition and business of the Company are "forward-looking" statements
as defined in the  Securities  Act of 1933 and the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934.   Investors   are   cautioned   that   information   contained   in  these
forward-looking  statements is inherently uncertain, and that actual performance
and results may differ  materially  due to numerous risk factors,  including but
not limited to the following:

    Seasonality and Variable Operating Results.

    The Company has  experienced a seasonal  pattern in its  operating  results,
with the fourth and second fiscal quarters typically having the highest revenues
and net income and the first and third fiscal  quarters  typically  having lower
revenues  and net income.  The timing of revenues is  influenced  by a number of
factors,  including  the timing of  individual  orders and  shipments,  seasonal
customer  buying  patterns  and  changes  in product  development  and sales and
marketing expenditures. The Company believes the seasonality of its revenues and
net income for the fourth  fiscal  quarter  can be  attributed  to due dates for
payment  obligations under multi-year license  agreements,  renewals of existing
agreements  and  the  Company's  sales  compensation  program,  which  is  based
significantly on fiscal year sales levels.  The Company believes the seasonality
of its revenues and net income in the second fiscal quarter can be attributed to
the seasonal  purchasing  patterns of its customers.  The Company reported a net
loss in the  first  and  third  quarters  of  fiscal  1994 and  there  can be no
assurance  that the  Company  will be  profitable  during  future  quarters.  In
addition, although the Company has no present agreements or commitments to enter
into any major contracts, the signing of a major contract could generate a large
increase in revenues and net income for any given quarter or fiscal year,  which
increase may prove anomalous when compared to changes in revenues and net income
in other periods.  Furthermore,  the Company  typically  experiences  long sales
cycles for new customers,  which may extend over several  quarters before a sale
is  consummated.  As a result,  the Company  believes that quarterly  results of
operations will continue to be subject to significant  fluctuations and that its
results of  operations  for any  particular  quarter  or fiscal  year may not be
indicative of results of operations for future periods.

    Dependence Upon New Product Development, Acceptance and Enhancement.

    The  market  for  the   Company's   products  is   characterized   by  rapid
technological progress and changing customer needs. The Company believes that as
the markets for CodeReview and Pattern  Review mature,  the continued  growth of
the  Company  will  require  the  successful   introduction   of  new  products.
Accordingly,  the  Company's  future  success  will  depend  on its  ability  to
successfully  develop and introduce new products,  including  Referral Profiler,
and to enhance its existing products. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in developing,  introducing on a timely basis,  and marketing
such  products  or  enhancements  or that they will be  accepted  by the market.
Research and  development  expenditures  have  equaled 11%,  18%, and 14% of the
Company's  revenue for the fiscal  years ended June 30,  1994,  1995,  and 1996,
respectively. Significant research and development expenditures will be required
in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company's expected new product
releases and product enhancements will adequately address customer  requirements
for performance and  functionality  or that its software will not contain "bugs"
that would delay product introduction or shipment.

    Dependence on Third Party for Component of Episode Profiler.

    A principal  component of Episode Profiler,  the "Episode  Treatment Groups"
product,  is licensed from a third-party  vendor,  Symmetry Health Data Systems,
Inc.  ("Symmetry"),  under  the  terms of a  63-month  license  which  commenced
November 17, 1994 and has a 24-month  renewal  option which is contingent on the
Company meeting minimum royalty  requirements.  Symmetry has agreed,  subject to
certain conditions, that it will not license Episode Treatment Groups to certain
other companies which might be considered  competitors of the Company. While the
Company  believes  that the terms of such  license  are  adequate to protect the
Company's  investment in Episode  Profiler,  any factor adversely  affecting the
Company's  ability  to retain  the  benefits  of such  license  or to obtain the
updated  Episode  Treatment  Groups would have a material  adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations, financial condition and business.

    Risk of Inability to Grow Through Acquisitions.

    The Company has grown,  and  intends to  continue to grow,  in part  through
acquisitions of products,  technologies and businesses. The Company's ability to
expand successfully through acquisitions depends on many factors,  including the
successful   identification  and  acquisition  of  products,   technologies  and
businesses and management's ability to effectively integrate and operate the new
products,  technologies  or  businesses.  There is significant  competition  for
acquisition   opportunities  in  the  industry,   which  may  intensify  due  to
consolidation  in the industry,  increasing  the costs of  capitalizing  on such
opportunities.  The Company  competes for acquisition  opportunities  with other
companies that have significantly greater financial and management resources.

    Management of Growth.

    The Company is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth and expansion
which could place a significant strain on the Company's personnel and resources.
The Company's growth has resulted in an increase in the level of  responsibility
for both existing and new management personnel. The Company has sought to manage
its  current  and  anticipated  growth  through the  recruitment  of  additional
management and technical  personnel and the  implementation  of internal systems
and controls.  However, the failure to manage growth effectively could adversely
affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition or business.

    Inability to Retain or Attract Customers Due to Competition.

    The market in which HPR's products are licensed is highly competitive.  Most
of the Company's  competitors have significantly  greater financial,  technical,
product  development  and marketing  resources  than the Company.  The Company's
potential competitors for customers include healthcare information companies and
large data processing and information companies.  Many of these competitors have
substantial  installed customer bases in the healthcare industry and the ability
to fund significant  product  development and acquisition  efforts.  The Company
believes  that the  principal  competitive  factors in its  market are  clinical
credibility  and integrity and product  innovation.  These factors  address both
customer needs for cost containment tools and increasing industry concerns about
quality control.  Other important competitive factors include product reputation
and reliability,  system features,  client service, price, and the effectiveness
of  marketing  and  sales  efforts.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  future
competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's  results of
operations, financial condition or business.

    Dependence on Proprietary Software and Clinical Knowledge-Bases.

    The Company's success is dependent to a significant extent on its ability to
maintain the proprietary and confidential software and clinical  knowledge-bases
incorporated in CodeReview, Patterns Review, Episode Profiler, Quality Profiler,
Referral Profiler and other products as they are released. The Company relies on
a combination of patent, trade secret,  copyright and contractual protections to
establish  and  protect  its  proprietary  rights.  There  can,  however,  be no
assurance that the legal  protections and the  precautions  taken by the Company
will be adequate to prevent  misappropriation of the Company's  technology.  Any
infringement  or  misappropriation  of the  Company's  proprietary  software and
clinical knowledge-bases would disadvantage the Company in its efforts to retain
and attract new customers in a highly  competitive  market,  and could cause the
Company to lose revenues or incur substantial  litigation  expense. In addition,
these  protections  and  precautions  do  not  prevent  independent  third-party
development of competitive technology or products.  Further, the Company depends
on  third-party  suppliers  to  license  to HPR  necessary  technology  that  is
incorporated into certain of the Company's products, including Episode Profiler.
The  inability  of the  Company for any reason to  continue  using or  otherwise
acquire such technology  could prevent  distribution of such products,  having a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  results  of  operations,  financial
condition or business.

    Dependence on Certain Key Personnel.

    The Company depends to a significant extent on key management, technical and
marketing  personnel.  The  Company's  growth and future  success will depend in
large part on its  ability to  attract,  motivate  and retain  highly  qualified
personnel.  The  Company  does not have  employment  agreements  with any of its
officers or key employees  providing for their employment for any specific term.
The Company does not have "key man" life insurance on any of its personnel other
than Marcia J. Radosevich,  the Company's  Chairman of the Board,  President and
Chief Executive  Officer.  The loss of key personnel,  particularly  the loss of
more  than  one  member  of the  Company's  executive  management  team,  or the
inability to hire or retain  qualified  personnel could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or business.

    Uncertainty in the Healthcare Industry.

    The  healthcare  industry is subject to  changing  political,  economic  and
regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operation of
healthcare organizations. The Company's products are designed to function within
the structure of the current  national  healthcare  financing and  reimbursement
system currently being used in the United States.  The Company believes that the
commercial  value and appeal of its products  may be adversely  affected if that
system were to be materially changed.  During the past several years, the United
States  healthcare  industry  has been  subject to an increase  in  governmental
regulation of, among other things,  reimbursement  rates.  Certain  proposals to
reform the United States healthcare system are currently under  consideration by
Congress.   These  programs  may  contain   proposals  to  increase   government
involvement in healthcare and otherwise change the operating environment for the
Company's customers.  Healthcare  organizations may react to these proposals and
the   uncertainty   surrounding   such  proposals  by  curtailing  or  deferring
investments  in  cost  containment  tools  and  related  technology  such as the
Company's products. The Company cannot predict what impact, if any, such factors
might have on its results of  operations,  financial  condition or business.  In
addition,  many  healthcare  providers are  consolidating  to create  integrated
healthcare  delivery  systems with greater  regional  market power. As a result,
these emerging systems could have greater  bargaining  power,  which may lead to
price erosion of the Company's products.  The failure of the Company to maintain
adequate  price levels  would have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
results of operations,  financial  condition or business.  Other  legislative or
market-driven  reforms could have unpredictable effects on the Company's results
of operations, financial condition or business.

    Risk of Product Liability Claims.

    The  Company's  products  provide  information  that  relates  to payment of
healthcare claims and to the  appropriateness of medical treatment in particular
cases and in general.  Any  failure by the  Company's  products to process  such
claims or to review such  treatments  accurately  could result in claims against
the Company by its customers.  Further, successful use of the Company's products
could  influence  the  treatments  rendered by providers and give rise to claims
against the Company by patients or providers. The Company maintains insurance to
protect  against  certain claims  associated  with the use of its products,  but
there can be no assurance that its insurance coverage would adequately cover any
claim  asserted  against the Company.  A successful  claim  brought  against the
Company in excess of, or excluded  from,  its  insurance  coverage  could have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  results  of  operations,  financial
condition or business.  Even  unsuccessful  claims could result in the Company's
expenditure of funds in litigation and management  time and resources.  While to
date the Company has not  experienced any product  liability  claims against it,
the Company is aware of claims made  against  payors by  patients  for  coverage
decisions  which  adversely  influenced  medical  treatment.  There  can  be  no
assurance that the Company will not be subject to product liability claims, that
such claims will not result in  liability in excess of its  insurance  coverage,
that  the  Company's  insurance  will  cover  such  claims  or that  appropriate
insurance  will  continue  to be  available  to the  Company  in the  future  at
commercially  reasonable rates. In addition, if liability of the Company were to
be established,  substantial revisions to its product could be required that may
cause the Company to incur  additional  unanticipated  research and  development
expenses.

    Possible Volatility of Stock Price.

     Prior to August 10, 1995,  there was no public market for the Common Stock,
and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained or
that the market  price of the Common  Stock will not  decline  below its current
price.  The stock  market  historically  has  experienced  volatility  which has
affected  the  market  price of  securities  of many  companies  and  which  has
sometimes been unrelated to the operating  performance  of such  companies.  The
trading  price  of the  Common  Stock  could  also  be  subject  to  significant
fluctuations  in response to  variations  in  quarterly  results of  operations,
announcements of new products or acquisitions by the Company or its competitors,
governmental  regulatory action,  other developments or disputes with respect to
proprietary   rights,   general  trends  in  the  industry  and  overall  market
conditions,  and other  factors.  The market  price of the  Common  Stock may be
significantly  affected by factors such as  announcements of new products by the
Company's  competitors,  as well as variations  in the market  conditions in the
medical cost containment or software industries in general. The market price may
also be affected by movements in prices of equity securities in general.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of HPR Inc.

    We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of HPR Inc. as
of  June  30,  1995  and  1996,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of
operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the  period  ended  June  30,  1996.   These   financial   statements   are  the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion,  the financial  statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects,  the consolidated financial position of HPR Inc. as of
June 30, 1995 and 1996 and the  consolidated  results of its  operations and its
cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended June 30,  1996,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated  Financial Statements,  in fiscal
1995 the  Company  retroactively  changed its method of  accounting  for certain
revenues.

HPR Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Description of Business

    HPR Inc.  (the  "Company")  was formed in 1987.  The  Company  develops  and
markets  software  and  proprietary  database  products  incorporating  clinical
knowledge  that enable payors and providers to better manage the financial  risk
associated  with the  delivery  of  healthcare  and the  quality  of  care.  The
Company's  products are used to contain the costs of  healthcare  by  clinically
evaluating  claims for  payment;  measuring  efficiency,  quality and  outcomes;
determining appropriate utilization; influencing physician referral patterns and
profiling  providers.  The Company's  products are  developed and  maintained in
consultation  with  board  certified  physicians  serving  on  Company-organized
panels.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company
and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Concurrent  Review  Technology,  Inc., HPR
Securities  Corp.,  established in August 1995, and The Integrity  Group,  Inc.,
acquired in April 1996 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests.
All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Financial Statement Presentation

    On July 20, 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved a 2.5-for-1 stock
split of the Company's common stock and preferred stock and approved an increase
of the authorized  number of common shares to 35,000,000 and of preferred shares
to 3,000,000. On April 16, 1996, the Company announced a stock split effected in
the form of a 100% stock  dividend  to all  shareholders  of record on April 26,
1996. The stock dividend was granted on May 6, 1996. Accordingly,  all share and
per share  amounts have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits as though they
had occurred at the beginning of the initial period presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The Company considers all highly liquid instruments  purchased with original
maturities  of  three  months  or less at the  time  of  acquisition  to be cash
equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. government  obligations and
U.S.  government  money market mutual funds used for temporary  cash  management
purposes.

Investments in Marketable Securities

     In  accordance  with  FAS  115,   management   determines  the  appropriate
classification  of its investments in debt and equity  securities at the time of
purchase and  reevaluates  such  determination  at each balance sheet date. Debt
securities  for which the  Company has the intent or ability to hold to maturity
are  classified as held to maturity.  The Company holds no investments in equity
securities at June 30, 1995 and 1996. Securities held to maturity are carried at
amortized  cost which  approximates  fair market value.  The Company  classifies
investments  that mature  greater than 12 months from the balance  sheet date as
long term investments.

                                       31
<PAGE>

Concentration of Credit Risk

    Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist  primarily  of cash and trade  accounts  receivable.  The
Company places its temporary cash investments in two financial institutions. The
Company has not experienced any losses on these investments to date. The Company
has not experienced  significant  losses related to receivables  from individual
customers  or groups of customers in the  healthcare  industry or by  geographic
area. Due to these factors,  no additional  credit risk beyond amounts  provided
for collection  losses is believed by management to be inherent in the Company's
accounts receivable.

Property and Equipment

    Property and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed on a
straight-line basis over a two-to eight-year  estimated useful life. Repairs and
maintenance  costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Upon retirement or sale,
the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated  depreciation are
removed  from the  accounts  and any  resulting  gain or loss is included in the
determination of net income.

Software Development Costs

    The Company capitalizes  software costs for internally developed software in
accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer  Software to be Sold,  Leased or Otherwise  Marketed."
These costs relate  primarily to the  development  of new products and extending
existing  applications to new markets or platforms  using existing  technologies
and  programming  methods.   All  costs  incurred  to  establish   technological
feasibility are charged to expenses as incurred.  Internally  developed software
costs capitalized were $828,407,  $591,261,  and $366,332 for fiscal years 1994,
1995,  and  1996,  respectively.  The  capitalized  costs  are  amortized  on  a
straight-line  basis over their estimated  useful lives (typically three years),
commencing  when each product is available to the market.  Amortization of these
software  development  costs is  included  in costs  of  revenues.  Amortization
expense for computer software was $334,573,  $608,285, and $578,152 during 1994,
1995, and 1996,  respectively.  Accumulated amortization of software development
costs was $829,969, $1,438,254, and $2,016,379 at June 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996,
respectively.

    The  Company  evaluates,   on  a  quarterly  basis,  the  recoverability  of
capitalized  software  costs on the  basis  of  whether  such  costs  are  fully
recoverable from projected  undiscounted cash flows of individual  products.  In
performing its evaluation, the Company must make estimates of anticipated future
gross  revenues as well as the  remaining  economic  life of the product.  It is
reasonably  possible that those estimates could be reduced in the near term as a
result of items such as competitive pressures.  As a result, the carrying amount
of the capitalized  software costs for a particular  product line may be reduced
materially in the near term.

Revenue Recognition

    The  Company  licenses  its  products   primarily   pursuant  to  multi-year
non-cancellable agreements that provide for payment of equal annual license fees
over their terms. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of
Position  No.  91-1,  "Software  Revenue  Recognition,"  issued by the  American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  Revenue  from  software  license
agreements  is  recognized  upon  execution  of a contract  and  shipment of the
software provided that no significant  vendor obligations remain outstanding and
the  related  receivable  is due  within  one  year  of the  contract  date  and
collection  is deemed  probable  by  management.  For  recurring  license  fees,
revenues are  recognized  on the  contract  anniversary  date.  The Company also
accrues  incidental  support costs  associated with these licenses when revenues
are  recognized.  Revenues  from services are  recognized  when the services are
delivered.

    In fiscal 1995, the Company  retroactively changed its method of recognizing
renewal or recurring  revenue from the recognition of the annual contract amount
ratably  over the  renewal  period to the  recognition  of the entire  recurring
amount on the contract  anniversary date. The change was made in accordance with
the Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 20 in  contemplation of an initial
public distribution of the financial  statements.  The financial  statements for
all periods  presented  have been restated to reflect the change in  accounting.
The  effect of the  restatement  was an  increase  to revenue  of  $781,000  and
$1,703,000 for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  The effect
of the  restatement  was an  increase  to net income and net income per share of
$333,400 or $0.02 for the year ended June 30, 1994 and $987,000 or $0.07 for the
year ended June 30, 1995.

                                       32
<PAGE>

    Customer payment terms vary. Amounts billed in advance of satisfying revenue
recognition  criteria are  classified  in current and long term  liabilities  as
deferred  revenue  in  the  accompanying  balance  sheets.  Costs  and  earnings
recognized in advance of billing are  classified  in current  assets as contract
receivables.




Research and Development

    Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

    Under the liability  method  specified by SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax asset
or  liability  is  determined  based on the  difference  between  the  financial
statement  and tax basis of assets and  liabilities,  as measured by the enacted
tax rates expected to apply when these  differences  reverse.  SFAS No. 109 also
requires a valuation  allowance  against net  deferred tax assets if, based upon
the  available  evidence,  it is more  likely  than not that  some or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Net Income Per Share

    Net income per share of common  stock is  computed  for each year based upon
the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  and dilutive  common
stock  equivalents.  For purposes of this calculation,  outstanding  options are
considered common stock equivalents (using the treasury stock method).  Pursuant
to Securities and Exchange  Commission Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 83, common
and common equivalent shares issued during the 12 month period prior to the date
of the initial filing of the Company's Registration Statement have been included
in the calculation, using the treasury stock method, as if they were outstanding
for all periods presented. Fair market value for the purpose of this calculation
was assumed to be $6.75,  which is the midpoint of the initial  public  offering
price range.  The number of shares used in this calculation has been adjusted to
reflect a 2.5-for-1  stock split in July 1995 and a 2 for 1 stock split effected
in the form of a 100% stock dividend in May 1996.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(3) Line of Credit

    During 1994, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 bank line of credit which
expired  December  31,  1995.  On January  18,  1996,  the  Company  received an
extension and modification of its revolving bank credit facility from $2,000,000
to $5,000,000  with an expiration date of December 31, 1996. The $5,000,000 bank
line is an  uncollateralized  borrowing  line. The current and prior  agreements
require  the  Company to achieve  certain  levels of  tangible  net worth and to
maintain certain financial ratios.  Borrowings under the agreement bear interest
at the bank's  commercial rate plus one-half of one percent,  which was 8.75% at
June 30,  1996.  During  1994,  1995,  and 1996 the line of credit  was  unused;
therefore, no interest was paid.

                                       33

(4) Investment in Marketable Securities

    In  accordance   with  FAS  115,   management   determines  the  appropriate
classification  of its investments in debt and equity  securities at the time of
purchase and  reevaluates  such  determination  at each balance sheet date. Debt
securities  for which the  Company has the intent or ability to hold to maturity
are  classified as held to maturity.  The Company holds no investments in equity
securities at June 30, 1995 and 1996. Securities held to maturity are carried at
amortized  cost which  approximates  fair  market  value.  At June 30,  1996 the
Company had no  investments  that qualified as trading or available for sale. At
June 30, 1995, the Company's  investments in debt  securities were classified as
cash and cash equivalents.

    In fiscal 1996  transactions  in  marketable  securities  decreased  cash by
$14,410,486.  Investments in  held-to-maturity  securities totaled  $29,687,372.
Proceeds  from  the  disposition  of held to  maturity  securities  amounted  to
$15,276,906.   During  fiscal  1996  the  Company   disposed  of  $7,167,900  in
investments  classified as held to maturity  prior to their  maturity  date. The
sales  resulted in realized  gains of $357 in the 1996  statement of operations.
The sale of the  securities  prior to maturity was an isolated  event due to the
need to comply with legal  restrictions  to maintain the favorable tax status of
HPR Securities Corp. a Massachusetts securities corporation.

    Marketable  securities,  classified  as current  securities,  as of June 30,
1996, include the following:


                                                  Amortized    Fair

(9) Stockholders' Equity

Stock Splits

    On July 20, 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved a 2.5-for-1 stock
split of the Company's outstanding common stock and preferred stock and approved
an increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock to 35,000,000 and
of preferred stock to 3,000,000.  On April 16, 1996 the Company approved a 2 for
1 stock split to be effected  through a 100% stock dividend  issued to all share
holders of record on April 26,  1996.  The dividend  was  distributed  on May 6,
1996.  Accordingly,  all shares and per share data have been restated to reflect
all stock  splits as though they had  occurred at the  beginning  of the initial
period presented.

Preferred Stock

    Holders  of  the  Company's  outstanding  convertible  preferred  stock  are
entitled  to  convert  each  share  into one share of common  stock,  subject to
certain antidilutive adjustments. In the event of liquidation of the Company the
holders of  preferred  stock are  entitled to receive,  before  distribution  to
common stockholders, $1.02 per share.

Stock Option Plans

    1991 Stock  Plan.  The  Company's  1991 Stock Plan (the "1991  Stock  Plan")
provides for the grant of nonqualified  and incentive stock options to employees
and others to purchase up to 1,160,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock.
Options  granted under the plan are  exercisable at the fair market value of the
stock at the date of grant, are exercisable in full at any time, vest over three
to four  years and  expire  ten years  from the date of grant.  A summary of all
stock option activity follows:

                     Outstanding at June 30, 1996...    717,361    $0.11-5.60

    Options  exercisable  and fully vested at June 30, 1994,  1995 and 1996 were
891,666,  408,630 and 400,906,  respectively,  and if all were  exercised  would
result in proceeds to the Company of $153,021 at June 30, 1996.

    1995 Stock Plan.  The Company's  1995 Stock Plan (the "1995 Stock Plan") was
approved  by the  Board of  Directors  on June 26,  1995,  and by the  Company's
stockholders  on July 20,  1995.  The 1995 Stock Plan  provides for the grant or
award of stock options,  restricted stock, stock  appreciation  rights and other
performance awards which may or may not be denominated in shares of Common Stock
or other securities  (collectively,  the "Awards").  Stock options granted under
the 1995  Stock Plan may be either  incentive  stock  options  or  non-qualified
options. The purpose of the 1995 Stock Plan is to attract and retain outstanding
employees through the incentives of stock ownership and monetary payments. Every
regular  full-time  employee of the Company,  including  officers but  excluding
directors who are not officers, is eligible to receive awards.

    The 1995 Stock Plan is  administered  by the  Compensation  Committee of the
Board of  Directors.  Subject  to the  provisions  of the 1995 Stock  Plan,  the
Committee  has the authority to designate  participants,  determine the types of
Awards to be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each Award, the time
at which each Award is exercisable or may be settled,  the method of payment and
any other terms and  conditions  of the Awards.  All Awards are  evidenced by an
Award Agreement between the Company and the participant.

    While the Committee  determines the prices at which options and other Awards
may be exercised  under the 1995 Stock Plan,  the exercise price per share of an
incentive  stock  option  shall be at least  100% of the fair  market  value (as
determined under the terms of the 1995 Stock Plan) of a share of Common Stock on
the date of grant.  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for
awards under the Plan is  1,535,000.  No Awards may be made under the 1995 Stock
Plan after June 25, 2005.

                     Outstanding at June 30, 1996...    785,192   0.49 - 16.38


    During 1996 employees of The Integrity  Group,  Inc. were granted options to
purchase  8,254  shares of common  stock at a price per share of $0.49 which was
below the fair market value at the date of the grant.  This  discount  from fair
market value has been recorded as deferred  compensation  and charged to expense
ratably over the four year vesting period of the options.

                                       37
<PAGE>
   
     Options  exercisable  and fully  vested at June 30, 1995 and 1996 were zero
and 142,509, respectively, and if all were exercised would result in proceeds to
the Company of $798,050 at June 30, 1996.

    1995 Eligible  Directors  Stock Plan. The Company's 1995 Eligible  Directors
Stock Plan (the  "Directors  Stock Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors
on June 26, 1995, and by the Company's  stockholders on July 20, 1995. Under the
Directors  Stock Plan,  each  director  who is not an officer or employee of the
Company  or any  subsidiary  of the  Company  (an  "outside  director")  will be
granted,  upon  first  being  elected  to the Board of  Directors,  an option to
purchase  10,000  shares of Common Stock at an exercise  price equal to the fair
market  value on the date of the grant.  In  addition,  upon  re-election,  each
outside  director  will be granted an option on the  thirtieth day following the
date of each annual meeting of  stockholders  to purchase 4,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise  price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
A total of 100,000  shares of Common  Stock are  available  for awards under the
Directors  Stock Plan. The options  granted under the Directors  Stock Plan will
vest in five equal  annual  installments  commencing  one year after the date of
grant.  No options may be granted under the Directors  Stock Plan after June 25,
2005. As of June 30, 1996, no options had been granted under the Directors Stock
Plan.


     As of June 30, 1996,  the Company has reserved  2,795,000  shares of common
stock for issuance under all of its stock option plans.

     In October of 1995,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  123,  "Accounting  for Stock
Based  Compensation,"  which  establishes  financial  accounting  and  reporting
standards for stock-based compensation plans. The statement defines a fair value
based  method of  accounting  for an  employee  stock  option or similar  equity
instrument and  encourages  the adoption of that method of accounting.  However,
the statement  also allows  entities to continue to account for such plans under
Accounting  Principles  Board  ("APB")  Opinion  No. 25.  Entities  electing  to
continue  accounting as permitted Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures
of net  income  and  earnings  per share as if the fair  value  based  method of
accounting  defined in the statement had been applied.  The Company  adopted the
statement  effective  July 1, 1996 and has  elected to  continue  to account for
stock  based  compensation  plans  under  the  provisions  of  Opinion  No.  25.
Therefore,  the  implementation  of the statement will not have an effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations,
and the  Company has not yet  determined  what the effect will be on a pro forma
basis.


(10) Employee Benefits

    The Health Payment Review,  Inc. 401(k) Plan is a defined  contribution plan
available  to  substantially  all  of  HPR's  employees.  The  401(k)  Plan  was
established  effective June 1, 1993 under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code.  Under the Plan,  employees may make  voluntary  contributions  based on a
percentage  of  their  pretax  earnings.  HPR  contributions  to  the  Plan  are
established  each year at the  discretion of the Board of Directors.  No amounts
were charged to expense for this Plan in fiscal 1994, 1995, and 1996.


(11) Legal Proceedings

    On January 31,  1994,  a suit was filed in the U.S.  District  Court for the
Eastern  District of Pennsylvania by GMIS,  Inc.  ("GMIS")  against the Company,
alleging  that the  Company's  patent  relating  to its  CodeReview  product was
invalid,  not infringed,  and unenforceable.  GMIS also alleged that the Company
interfered  with the business  relationships  of GMIS and sued for damages of an
unspecified amount.

    The  Company  filed a patent  infringement  counterclaim  on March 25,  1994
alleging, among other things, that GMIS' product, ClaimCheck, infringed upon the
patent.

    On January 23, 1995 the Company settled all of its  outstanding  claims with
GMIS.  Pursuant  to the  settlement,  the terms of which were  undisclosed,  the
Company  granted  GMIS  a  nonexclusive  license  under  the  patent,  and  GMIS
acknowledged  the  validity  of the patent  and made a  one-time  payment to the
Company. The payment was recorded by the Company net of legal and other costs.

(12)      Acquisitions

     On April 30, 1996 the Company acquired The Integrity Group,  Inc.  ("TIG"),
an Alabama corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests
under which all of the capital stock of TIG was exchanged for 260,001  shares of
HPR Inc. common stock. TIG is a vendor of provider credentialing,  accreditation
support,  Healthcare  Employer Data  Information Set (HEDIS)  reporting and data
warehousing  tools and support for effective  provider network  management.  The
accompanying  financial  statements for periods prior to 1996 do not include the
amounts for this  acquisition  as they were deemed to be  immaterial.  Only 1996
financial information has been restated as if the transaction had occurred as of
July 1, 1995.

     TIG was a Subchapter S Corporation for income tax purposes and,  therefore,
did not pay U.S.  federal  income  taxes.  TIG will be included in the Company's
U.S.  federal income tax return  effective  April 30, 1996. The following  table
presents  net sales  and net  income  for TIG and HPR from July 1, 1995  through
March 31, 1996:
